Hsin-Po Wang is an Assistant Professor at National Taiwan University (EE & GICE). He received his BSc in Math from NTU and his PhD in Math from UIUC, then worked at UC San Diego and UC Berkeley before joining NTU.

Professor Wang is interested in applying math tools such as algebra, combinatorics, calculus, and probability theory to information theory and coding theory. Particular topics he has worked on include polar codes (wireless communication), group testing (with many downstream applications including heavy hitters, compressed sensing, and multiple access channels), regenerating codes (cloud storage), distributed matrix multiplication (cloud computation), DNA digital data storage (long-term high-density storage), differential privacy (privacy for sparse data), exact distribution shaping (randomized algorithms), and pessimistic cardinality estimation (database optimization).

Hsin-Po has a habit of putting too many TikZ figures in his papers and taking video games too seriously. He even has a webpage https://nm.lk/t collecting techniques that are too fancy for papers and another page https://nm.lk/f dedicated to beautiful factory designs in the video game Factorio.
